SOUTHWOLD, ONT.—Ontario Provincial Police say a 26-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy are facing a total of 54 charges arising from an incident that sent four officers to hospital and left four cruisers wrecked. They say officers spotted a stolen pickup truck driving erratically on Friday evening, but were unable to stop it before it left Highway 401 in the Shedden area in southwestern Ontario. It’s alleged the occupants broke into a home in Shedden, where they abandoned the first truck and stole another pickup. OPP say that truck collided with two police vehicles northeast of Shedden and two additional police vehicles a few kilometres later, injuring four officers, who were taken to hospital for treatment. Investigators allege that after the second collision the pair abandoned the second pickup, flagged a passing car, and assaulted the driver and passenger in an unsuccessful attempt to steal their vehicle.
